I've been a flight attendant for almost twelve years, and in that time I've encountered many who fit this description. Fundies believe they are above the rules, that they answer only to jeebus. I'm not in the least bit surprised. On behalf of those few atheistic flight attendants out there, I apologize to you Mojoey!

I never got a single comment, which is a shame because I had braced myself for them! Fantastic book, Hemant. I echo Mojoey's comment, it made me want to go to church [with a notebook and a tape recorder!] I just read the book while flying here and there as well.

MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHY ARE YOU REJECTING GOD'S LOVE? WHETHER YOU BELIEVE ON HIM OR NOT ONE DAY YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COME FACE TO FACE WITH HIM AND EXPLAIN TO HIM WHY YOU DID NOT BELEIVE HIM. I THINK YOU ARE SO BLESSED BECUASE IT SOUNDS TO ME GOD IS JUST SENDING YOU SO MANY PEOPLE TO SHOW YOU HE IS REAL, BUT YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO DENY HIM. I PRAY THAT YOU GET TO KNOW HIM BECAUSE IN MY LIFE HE IS NOT RELIGION, HE IS MY BEST FRIEND AND PARTNER. HE LOVES YOU! ESTER LOMBANA HELLO,

HE LOVES YOU!

The reactions I get don't go as far as these, but the expressions on peoples faces are quite amusing. When flying I sometimes read a book on air disasters.

What a pain in the ass. I don't want to get into a spiritual conflict with some dork semi-paranoid security guard, or a three hour philosophical debate with a socially inept accountant with halitosis sitting next to me on the plane. Leave me frikkin' alone. I keep telling you guys but nobody listens. Cover your atheist books with brown paper jackets like you used to make in school. Print "How to Clean your Own Septic Tank" on the front. Other suggested titles: "Tropical Diseases of the Skin," "Bicameral Impositions of Euripides," "Lesser Known Works by Goethe," The Psychodynamics of 'Love Story'" or better yet just "Love Story." There's three things you should never discuss face to face with strangers: your sex life, your bowel habits and your spiritual beliefs. Why would you want this kind of stuff to happen to you?

How come this stuff never happens to me? I was reading the book in the airport and on the planes and everything and no one mentioned a thing; everyone was on-par polite. That’s hilarious!

But I can tell you that reading Hemant's book in my former home of Colorado Springs, I would be asking for abuse. Hmmm...must remember to pack that next time I head up to visit family. I smell a dining-solo-with-a-book moment coming on, LOL. Kerry, living in Santa Fe (yet another liberal city), I doubt I’d get much grief.
